We aim to confirm within 15 minutes, 7am to 9pm. ## What the notary does The person giving up the interest (the grantor) signs the deed in front of a notary, who checks identity and completes an acknowledgment. A deed generally has to be acknowledged before a notary to be recorded. The notary can't tell you whether a quitclaim is the right deed, how it affects taxes or a mortgage, or what to write in it. Those questions belong to your attorney or title company. ## Get it notarized online today Online notary: open now until 9 PM ET · sessions by appointment · times confirmed by email A New Jersey notary can notarize this with you on a video call, wherever you are in the U.S. $50 for the session, $10 for each extra signer.

[What to ask them](/notary/will-my-online-notarization-be-accepted) · [Several signers](/notary/online-notarization-multiple-signers) ## What to have ready The completed deed, with the legal description and the names spelled as they appear on the current deed. Don't sign it before the notary arrives. Every signer needs a current, government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport, and must be present (in person, or on live video for remote online notarization). If more than one owner is transferring, each one signs. Ask your attorney or the county whether any transfer-fee or consideration forms need to be filed with the deed. ## After it's signed The signed deed is recorded with the county clerk or register of deeds where the property sits. We can take it to the county and send you the recorded copy, see our document recording service. We're based in Cranford and send mobile notaries to homes, offices and care facilities in Union and Middlesex counties, including Cranford, Westfield, Elizabeth, Edison and Woodbridge. For other counties, tell us the address and we'll confirm availability before you book. ## Common questions **Does a quitclaim deed have to be notarized?** To be recorded, a deed generally needs an acknowledgment taken by a notary. Confirm the requirements for your situation with your attorney or the county. **Can you draft the deed?** No. A notary can't draft documents or give legal advice. Bring the finished deed from your attorney or title company. **Do both people have to be there?** Only the grantors, the people giving up the interest, need to sign before the notary. The person receiving the property usually doesn't. This page is general information, not legal advice. A notary can't draft documents or advise you on their contents. Ask your attorney or the office requesting the document what you need. How we can help [### Mobile Notary A mobile notary near you in New Jersey, at your home, office, hospital or job site.
